"A letter from Wang Ting? But didn't Zhao Qing say before that they were chasing Zhao Qing?" Tian Chou asked.
Liu Yu didn't know what was going on, so he continued reading the letter.
He was immediately shocked to find that there was not much content on the letter. Apart from the self-introduction at the beginning, there was only one sentence.
"Changping is plotting a rebellion."
what is this?
A prophecy or a warning.
Liu Yu frowned after seeing this: "Does Qiu Liju think that I, Liu Yu, would be fooled by such a trick?"
After saying that, he threw the letter casually, and it happened to fall in front of Tian Chou. After seeing the contents on the letter, Tian Chou's expression did become serious.
Looking at Liu Yu, Tian Chou thought it over again and again and decided to speak it out.
"Lord Boan, maybe this is not impossible?"
"Zitai, do you think it's possible? That's not what you said to Tan Zhaoqing just now." Liu Yu was puzzled.
"Zitai understands. Ran, this is a letter from the Wuhuan royal court." Tian Chou said with his head down.
"The Wuhuan royal family can communicate with the Holy Spirit, and according to intelligence, their Holy Spirit should also have the ability to predict. So... if you are not going to do anything to Zhao Qing, you should take it into consideration and not blindly trust Zhao Qing."
"But having said that, I also think it's impossible." Before, it was the minister's job to persuade the person to wake up, but now Tian Chou was just doing a personal analysis.
"If Zhao Qing had the intention of rebellion, there would be no need to send the 7,000 prisoners to us," Tian Chou analyzed.
"With only 7,000 plus the 2,000 or 3,000 captives he left behind, a total of nearly 10,000 young and strong Hu people, our Jicheng is certainly unable to resist. If he wants to 'rebel', our Jicheng will fall tonight."
Afterwards, both of them felt that this was just a random attempt by the Wuhuan royal court to sow discord, and did not take it too seriously.
However, at this moment, there was a loud explosion in the sky.
The sound came from the south, but could be heard throughout China.
The sudden sound pierced the entire night sky, as if something was shattered.
What on earth could be the thing that could shake the entire world and shatter it?
Liu Yu and Tian Chou looked up at the southern direction of the night sky at the same time. That was Luoyang.
Then Liu Yu suddenly felt a pain in his chest.
"My lord!" Tian Chou was shocked to see Liu Yu covering his chest, and at this moment a loud dragon roar sounded from the sky.
Then Tian Chou looked up and saw a giant golden dragon flying from the south. The dragon was at least a hundred miles long and circled directly above his head. Then it roared, and its body suddenly exploded, turning into countless fireflies and falling down.
Liu Yu's pain gradually disappeared, but he felt something strange when he covered his chest: "I feel like... something is missing in my body..."
While Liu Yu was muttering to himself, Tian Chou looked at the countless golden lights scattering and disappearing in the sky. Recalling the strange sight just now, he was suddenly shocked.
"That was the aura that only the emperor had... But Dong Zhuo shouldn't dare to harm Your Majesty at this time. Could it be that... Dong Zhuo is already melting the gold man?!"
"Why, why didn't anyone in the court stop her?!" Tian Chou murmured, "There have long been rumors that the First Emperor melted down all the soldiers in the world to make twelve golden men. Like the jade seal that represents the fate of the country, they also became the inheritance of the emperor's destiny. However, everyone in later generations thought that it was the destiny of the Qin Dynasty and had nothing to do with the Han Dynasty... But now it seems that this rumor is true."
Liu Yu also frowned and said, "The golden man is an important ceremonial vessel for your Majesty to inherit the Mandate of Heaven. Now that one has been melted, your Majesty must no longer be able to inherit the Mandate of Heaven. In other words..."
"The thing I just felt lost in my heart is truly a strand of destiny for my Han people...With a strand missing, destiny is already incomplete."
Looking at the yellowish night sky, Liu Yu said softly, "Moreover, the lost destiny turned into a giant dragon and came to our Hebei Province. This should also symbolize something..."
"There is an emperor in Hebei." Tian Chou said to himself.
Tian Chou and Liu Yu, who noticed this, had different expressions, but both were filled with deep shock.
This is not divination or stargazing, it is the real fact.
Only those who accept the Mandate of Heaven can attract the escaped destiny. The most orthodox person who can accept the Mandate of Heaven in the world - the Emperor of Han Dynasty is in Luoyang at this time, but this strand of destiny chose Hebei.
In other words, Hebei had a second emperor, and he was recognized by the Mandate of Heaven.
So, where is the emperor of Hebei now? Who is he?
Tian Chou, Liu Yu, and everyone else who observed this vision tonight that was far more shocking than anything else, all felt different emotions in their hearts, be it worry, panic, or a desire for the highest position.
Chapter 189 It was just an accident
Outside Jicheng.
Liu Zhaoqing, who had just rushed out of the city with Zhang Liao, had not even had time to mount his horse when he also saw the golden dragon suddenly coming from the south.
The flying and swimming giant dragon broke through countless dark clouds, and its slender and flowing dragon whiskers drew several endless golden lines in the night sky.
Its mighty five claws sucked the broken dark clouds into its claws and shattered them into nothingness. It swallowed up the darkness and spit out brilliant golden light.
The glow emanating from the golden dragon's body has illuminated the entire dark land of Hebei as if it were daytime.
Liu Zhaoqing, like all the nobles, heroes and common people in Hebei who had witnessed the giant dragon, stood there in a daze and looked up, gazing at this legendary vision.
When the giant dragon came to the top of Youzhou's head, Liu Zhaoqing also witnessed this great and shocking giant dragon, howling towards the sky, and then suddenly exploded and shattered into countless fluorescent lights...
Everyone was stunned.
If we say that when mortals saw the golden dragon earlier, they were stunned because of its shockingly majestic body.
Now, the mortals in Hebei were shocked that the giant dragon had shattered directly...
"What on earth is this thing... and why did it suddenly break into pieces?"
Liu Zhaoqing stood there with his head raised and his mouth open, his heart in turmoil.
This giant dragon is not a mythical beast, and it may not even be a living creature.
Because just now Liu Zhaoqing could clearly see that the dragon's huge eyes were lifeless and covered in pure gold.
But even so, the energy contained in such a huge dragon should be enough to destroy the sky, so how could it... break into pieces like this?
At this time, Liu Zhaoqing didn't understand what was going on, and Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were even more confused.
But Zhang Liao reacted a little faster. She looked at the giant dragon fragments falling like the embers of fireworks, and hurried to Liu Zhaoqing.
"My benefactor, we..." But before Zhang Liao could think of pulling Liu Zhaoqing into the city to avoid the trouble that the debris might bring.
She saw that something strange suddenly happened to Liu Zhaoqing.
Liu Zhaoqing's whole body was emitting a hazy golden color, which was surprisingly similar to the debris floating in the sky.
But soon, the golden light weakened and faded, and at the same time, Yinglong's voice sounded again in Liu Zhaoqing's mind.
"How come you become the master just when I rest for a while... huh? It turns out it was an illusion, then it's fine."
"..."
Seeing Yinglong awaken due to this strange phenomenon, Liu Zhaoqing immediately asked in his heart: "What on earth is going on?"
Yinglong, who seemed to be sleeping well in his body, was not as indifferent as before and immediately answered his doubts.
"That dragon is the destiny of this dynasty. If a ruler loses the destiny, he cannot rule the world."
"Just as even a thick rope will break if a strand is pulled away, if the Twelve Destinies that have gathered the energy of the emperor for hundreds of years cannot be inherited and a strand is peeled away, the dynasty's national destiny and destiny will also fall apart."
"Looking at it this way, you, a mortal, do have a chance."
"Opportunity?" Liu Zhaoqing frowned and asked in his heart, "Do you mean that the 'Mandate of Heaven' that I appeared before can really... be received?"
Yinglong responded calmly in his mind: "The last time a dynasty lost its Mandate of Heaven was four hundred years ago. The successor to the throne also lost its Mandate of Heaven. Later, the Mandate of Heaven was chased away by the mortals of the world, and eventually it was fought over by two people. Now it seems that Shenzhou is about to experience the turmoil of that time again."
After Liu Zhaoqing finished muttering in his mind, Yinglong made a strange sound as if he yawned, then said a word and fell silent again.
"But since you are only as weak as a firefly right now, you should still worry about the crisis ahead."
"The crisis at hand?"
Liu Zhaoqing asked in his heart, but got no response.
He wanted to ask this question ten or twenty times in a row to make this guy stop being a riddler, but at this moment, Zhang Liao's voice came from the side.
“My benefactor, you…!”
"I?"
Zhang Liao has always been outspoken, so why did he suddenly only speak half of his words?
When Liu Zhaoqing was about to turn his head to say something to her, he suddenly felt a warm sensation on his right hand.
Then a huge force came from the black box in his hand, and at the same time, the fragments of the giant dragon in the sky began to fall on the house and the ground.
When the debris fell on these mortal objects, it spread out directly, causing moss to grow on the dry tiles and the cracked ground to become fertile soil. When it fell on mortals, it also swept away their fatigue and the majestic dragon sound echoed in their hearts.
This was the expected effect of a strange vision. Zhang Liao, who had witnessed the auspicious beast coming to him in Luoyang, should not have been so surprised.
But even Liu Zhaoqing himself did not expect that when the countless giant dragons in the sky collapsed and turned into debris that fell on his head, he would actually undergo a strange change.
The sword tassel on the Water-Repellent Sword at his waist suddenly emitted an extremely dazzling golden light. At the same time, the black box in his hand containing the scabbard of the Chixiao sword began to shake violently.
The human book in his heart seemed to be sensing something, but Liu Zhaoqing could realize that the changes in these two things were not caused by himself, but by the debris in the sky.
Finally, with a loud "bang", the scabbard broke out of the box in his hand and hung vertically above Liu Zhaoqing's head.
Then, the debris that was originally falling freely around seemed to be summoned and gathered towards the scabbard from all directions.
When countless golden firefly-like debris were swept in like a tornado, the black and broken scabbard, which looked like ordinary rotten wood, was covered with a large amount of gold for a moment.
Liu Zhaoqing widened his eyes and saw that the scabbard was actually changing. Its originally black surface immediately became clear, and the red dragon and phoenix carvings became lifelike. The damaged end was quickly filled with golden fragments. As if time was going back, the scabbard was returning to the way it was four hundred years ago!
The change from the scabbard vibrating to the scabbard suddenly becoming as new as before took place in less than five breaths. Before Liu Zhaoqing even had time to react, the transformed scabbard flew directly to his waist and steadily held the Water-Repellent Sword inside it.
At the same time, a loud dragon roar came from the sword at Liu Zhaoqing's waist.
This dragon roar was almost the same as the previous dragon's roar. It also only lasted for one second before falling into silence. The debris in the sky had also completely dissipated at this time. Except for the fertile soil around it, what happened just now seemed like an illusion.
Everyone outside the city stood still.
Similarly, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, who was riding a white horse in the distance, also stood there with their mouths open for a long time.
This time, they came not because of the Destiny Dragon, but because of their own lord.
Such a strange phenomenon happened right before their eyes, and it happened right after the giant dragon collapsed. Even a fool would guess that this meant Liu Zhaoqing had a real connection with the collapsed dragon.
It didn't matter what kind of connection it was. The three thousand Hu captives who had been stunned for a long time knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Zhaoqing, shouting all kinds of incomprehensible words of praise in the Hu language.
At this moment, Liu Zhaoqing was not ecstatic. Instead, he was stunned and broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
He now knew what Yinglong meant.
The collapse of the giant dragon of destiny represents the loss of the Han Dynasty's destiny.
The strange vision just now was obviously the shattered destiny of the Han Dynasty being directly absorbed by Emperor Gaozu's scabbard. At this moment, Liu Zhaoqing could feel the emperor's aura contained in the scabbard at his waist, which was the destiny of the former emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Zhaoqing's ability to accept the Mandate of Heaven only meant that he was qualified to pursue the divine weapon. He could sense the Mandate of Heaven of the former Han Emperor in the scabbard, but he could not use it.
After all, he is not a descendant of Emperor Gaozu, so at best he is just a "custodian" of the scabbard and sword tassel of the Chixiao sword, and can only inspire the spirit of Emperor Gaozu therein.
The reason for such a strange phenomenon was that he happened to have a sword tassel, so the scabbard that absorbed a trace of destiny found a "settlement point".
This was just an accident. The same phenomenon would happen to anyone who possessed both a sword tassel and a scabbard.
But, if I tell this to others, will anyone really believe it?
Liu Zhaoqing was stunned when he saw the kneeling Hu people who were cheering like thunder, as well as the shocked eyes of Zhang Liao beside him and Zhao Yun in the distance.
This thing ruined his life...
If such a thing were to be spread out, he would definitely be regarded as the son of destiny, and then be labeled as a usurper of the Han Dynasty, and everyone would be able to kill him.
The idea and plan of developing steadily in Hebei were instantly shattered by this incident.
Chapter 190 Return to Changping, Liu Yuxin3.5K
Zhang Liao didn't know what to feel at this moment.
She thought Liu Zhaoqing was a wise leader, but she never thought that Liu Zhaoqing would actually be recognized by the giant dragon that was obviously from Luoyang.
What does this mean... Could it be that Liu Zhaoqing has the blood of great-grandfather and can inherit the throne?
This conclusion in his mind was even more shocking than when he followed Liu Zhaoqing and defeated the Wuhuan with only 40 cavalrymen.
Even Zhang Liao, his close confidant, felt so, and the rest of the passers-by felt even more so.
It was impossible for Liu Zhaoqing to explain to everyone that he did not do it. He just happened to have a sword tassel, so the scabbard that collected the broken destiny took it as a "human-shaped pendant".
Even Zhang Liao would definitely not believe this explanation, let alone others.
